    Vile lemmitors who imagine themselves as somehow better than reddit-logo users despite acting exactly the same and having created literally exactly the same spaces but seemingly devoid (there must be a few right???) of the rare, few, real people who actually have souls not rotted away by years and years of narwhal bacon imperial core settler ideology and fake email factory tech jobs that can sometimes be found on reddit-logo cuz of its popularity and absorption of so many internet forums into itself (unlimited “”“”“”“”“”“”“”“”“”““Eternal September””“”“”“”“”“”“”“”“”“” on reddit-logo qin-shi-huangdi-fireball)

    Genuinely pathetic behavior tbh. This person obviously considers themself to be some kind of ally or part of the working class but when one of the workers being whined about and shit on actually gives his perspective (sry for talking about you in the third person lol, it seems to makes all my verbs and tenses or whatever agree) and asks them to self-crit, they won’t. Instead, they use the same language meant to support and uphold the rights of workers to put down and shut up a worker. I live with lots of contradictions in my beliefs and life like anyone else but I can’t imagine living that one without my brain completely exploding

    A7thStone, if you somehow read this… why would you say that? The request for you to critique your beliefs may not have been put in the perfect reddit-logo polite, civil pearl-clutch, sanitized way but it shouldn’t have to be. I hope I am somehow misunderstanding you

    I am refraining from posting more from that thread cuz of where we are lol. I would join in if I had a reddit.world-connected acct hehe

    You’re so real for trying to make those libs think lol. I worked for Amazon for just a few months (I literally could not do it any more, my brain just shut down one day and I walked out, went home and cried for a while), not as a delivery driver, but I imagine it is similarly or even more… DIFFICULT agony-wholesome. Idk how unaware, out of touch, and heartless you would have to be to willingly participate in that thread and say shit about how you should call cops about delivery drivers and how they park, truly wild and actually kinda makes me sad :( I’ve never been but would the real FuckCars subreddit even allow that?

    Have limited posting energy so is difficult for me to express when I read about peoples’ lives on this site (I saw but didn’t reply to UlyssesT leaving, coming back, and leaving again from lack of energy) but I think I read most of your posts about stuff, was happy to hear you got back on your feet in spite of all the stuff your ex-friend did and the grueling Amazon job meow-hug










  • Ty, much appreciated

    I need to use tone indicators more, I feel like they should be normalized more especially on the internet. Way we write on the internet does kinda indicate tone (“lol”, “smh”, “:3”, etc) but it’s not explicit or in any kind of standardized way rly. You added “no notes” in there which is also kinda like a tone indicator basically lol

    In Lojban, this constructed language kinda based on first-order predicate logic I’ve been learning recently, we actually a wide variety of tone indicators that you can attach to anything from single words to entire sentences. All things in the language can be spoken aloud too just like they’re written so you don’t even need to intone your sentences or use body language irl, you can just drop like a speakable emoticon while you’re speaking to make it explicit which is rly cool to me :3 especially cuz I miss stuff like that a lot irl and even more online

    We don’t have a sarcasm or irony indicator (that I know of… should make one) but I guess you could use the humor marker “zo’o” (pronounced mostly like you would think but the apostrophe is kinda like an ‘h’). Oh actually, you could also maybe use the indicator “je’unai” which indicates falseness (in the sense of a logical truth value) to make clear you’re not actually asserting something, combined with “zo’o” I think that would be pretty clear indicator of irony in the sense of humorously asserting something that’s false

    Unrelated to thread topic but yeh lol

    Bit idea: just saying “colon three” aloud :3




  • Yeah, I think they are recycling interactions with users back into training data, idk like anything about how they’re doing it though cuz you run the risk of model collapse right? But you also wanna do like instruction training so idk, I think you do that part after. Also ofc a lot of their base training data was scraped from the internet and that place is generally pretty vile and filled with similar interactions

    Also also, I wanna push back slightly on the “rationalizing” thing cuz even in scare quotes it kinda accepts the treat defender and technolibertarian-utopian framing of these things as having intelligence at all rather than just mixing and regurgitating things that were in the training data. Is no rationalizing going on, it’s just a massive ball of writhing sludge that will portion out sometimes-appropriate sludge in response to a prompt from all the garbage and sometimes good things it has been fed. Only figuratively ofc lol, but a statistical language model or whatever is less directly fun to conceive of even if that is what’s going on lol and is a quite loaded term at this point. I get what you mean though

    I remember libs doing this stuff back in 2022 but do lib NAFO accounts even still exist? Lemme go look for myself lol

    dead-dove-2

    spoiler

    Huh, interesting, I think they forgot to take off their coat

    Is like finding an old type of brainworm persisting in some strange ecological niche, maybe I’m just out of the loop of the ideological character of the average NAFO type



  • “Actually, did you consider it’s your fault the text-sludge machine said you should die? You clearly didn’t take into account the invisible and undetectable letters that one of these other grand, superior machines put into their answers into order to prevent the humans they take care of from misusing their wisdom” you-are-a-serf smuglord (I have no idea what they’re talking about, maybe those Unicode language tag characters (and idk why a model would even emit those, especially in a configuration that could trigger another model to suicide bait you wtf lmao) and I think most or all of the commercial AI products filter those out at the frontend cuz people were using them for prompt injection)

    “Unthinking text-sludge machine, please think for me about why this other sludge machine broke and ‘’‘tried’‘’ to hurt someone” lmao

    Purge treat machine worshipping behavior, the machine cannot fail, only you can fail the machine
